Where do you think the boundary between drawing and painting lies?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Daniel Segrove: For me, drawing is a great way to explore ideas in the moment. It can be very spontaneous and gestural, and at the same time you can do more time invested rendering to create the illusion of three-dimensional forms. In my work I really enjoy trying to capture the full range of versatility you can achieve with drawing mediums. Combining both sporadic lines and movement contrasted with realistic rendering in other areas.<\/p>\n<p>I try not to have too many boundaries in the studio. I often try to intertwine the two mediums; most of my work is mix media exploring the balance between color and texture of paint and value, line, and form of drawing. I have a lot of fun trying new mediums and techniques that I usually can\u2019t wait to start combining them to see the results and expand my visual vocabulary.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1379674\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1379674\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1379674 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1255\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088-287x300.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088-768x803.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088-979x1024.jpg 979w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088-620x648.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0088-940x983.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1379674\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flux 20&#215;20 inches Mix Media on Paper<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1379671\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1379671\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1379671 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-768x765.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-1024x1020.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-620x617.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0224-940x936.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1379671\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fiesta 16&#215;16 inches Oil on Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>I saw on your Instagram that you work in both oils and charcoal; is working in paint a different kind of knowledge to charcoal or do they influence each other?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To me painting is more related to sculpture then it is to drawing. I often find myself pushing and pulling the paint around, more carving strokes, focusing on planes and direction. A lot like the techniques you find in sculpture; however the link between drawing and painting would have to be more in the earlier stages of the line drawing with the brush, and thin block-ins. Not to mention having color adds a complete and different dynamic than just thinking about value as with drawing. Although I think they do inspire each other when I work, I try to link my drawings and paintings together aesthetically more then technically. Although they have different executions, I do have the same destination for them conceptually, exploring the boundaries of balance and when something is truly finished.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1379668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1379668\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1379668 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1526\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245-236x300.jpg 236w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245-768x977.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245-805x1024.jpg 805w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245-620x788.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.jacksonsart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/DSC_0245-940x1195.jpg 940w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1379668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Self Aware 20&#215;16 inches Oil on Panel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Would you call your process of distressing and damaging your work drawing?
